I grew my hair to waist-length, doing 6-month cornrows..

[@alwaysaccurate8725]

Wow really. Do you oil/moisturize it? Dry wash? The cornrows?

[@aminahhadi6536]

@@alwaysaccurate8725you wash as normal and oil

[@YoungAfricana]

Leaving your hair alone will give you so much growth!!!

[@samantha7142]

@alwaysaccurate8725 Yes, I would wash and oil 3-4 weeks... I also have pics to prove it. I pretty much took photos every time I washed and flatironed my hair.

[@tati01dance]

@@samantha7142 6months at a time? Like leaving them in that long without re-doing?

[@bridneybattle9137]

I typically leave my sewing up for 6 months just because I don’t have the time to actually do anything with my hair. And it has helped my hair grow longer and stronger. You did such a wonderful job on your hair ..cousin got them growing hair hands..Keep up the amazing work. I know life gets busy and sometimes we can be a mess but when we want to snap back into our baddie mode we snaps back into it 😍

[@YoungAfricana]

This is the comment, thank you so much my love 💜 life has truly lifed for me, but we are back and better 🥰

[@Icant88]

I live by Deeper than Hair... I trim my own hair because of her. Im glad you werent scared to cut your hair.

[@jk9084]

Me too

[@ALISIA00]

The trim is giving professional. You did that💁🏾‍♀️👌🏾

[@YoungAfricana]

Girllll I was struggling but I’m here now

[@msjuicycouture22]

0:04 That's how my hair looked as well after like 6months. I thought the shedded hair was crazy and was gonna run to my dermatologist 😂 but then I had to think it's been 6 months +

[@YoungAfricana]

Yes at first I was a little alarmed but I was like wait, our hair sheds every single day! And it’s been trapped there for 7 months 😂

[@mchlljy]

just a note, the neutralizing shampoo stops the relaxer from processing. even if you rinse out the relaxer it still can process in your hair. next time i suggest neutralizing first then using olaplex. you did an amazing job trimming your hair. it looks so full and has a lot of body!

[@YoungAfricana]

Thank you for that! I’ll do that the next time 💜

[@mackey-y6s]

I was thinking the same thing..

[@tati01dance]

Haven’t had a relaxer in over 10 years and i feel back for wanting to go back. Been thinking about it lately

[@YoungAfricana]

I think it’s something you should definitely consider for sure. Just weigh out your pros and cons

[@halimatoudiallo1029]

Health risks and def more breakage prone than virgin hair but hey ppl risk their health for beauty all day yolo Lmaoo

just crazy

[@maxxitee4761]

Thought I heard wrong

[@ambrosia417]

I got chemical burns on 80% of my scalp relaxing after braids at 21 😮. That was the last time I had one!

[@AJD7233]

No but same🥲. My own head was iching watching her do this like damn, this is so so bad for your head.

[@insertnamehere9154]

Turned out super cute❤ I would jus recommend coating ur relaxed ends with Vaseline and not smoothing the relaxer so far down to the previously relaxed hair. Over time this causes thinning and breakage.

[@marie-rosebenjamin5703]

I was always taught , you don’t add heat immediately after a perm . It’s because the hair is weaker after a chemical treatment I believe . I was always taught , you don’t take your hair down and perm immediately .

[@meairraflowers3824]

Getting a trim is honestly my favorite part it makes such a difference 💁🏾‍♀️

Yes you got so much growth💁🏾‍♀️ I’ll be doing a 7 month protective style journey next! ❤

[@prettyb5852]

Hello from South Africa ❤ I loooooove, love, love long term protective styling. It grew my hair so much this past year. And it is soooo satisfying to watch these take downs, they literally make my day and reassure me that I'm on the right path to growing my hair.

[@AT-zl6dk]

Ive been natural for 14 years over the years realized my hair needs water & oil . My hair has flourished so much, hydration is key. My spray bottle & argan oil 🤍☀️ Leave in conditioners help as well

[@Akosua411]

I got my 4 month braids in rn under this wig! Ik this wasn’t a tutorial but I can’t wait to do this for spring😆✨

[@sishowisyourheart]

I just wanted to say that you have beautiful hair! I also wanted to share a quick tip with you. When you apply a relaxer to your hair, try to only apply it to your new growth. Applying it to your old hair can lead to overprocessing, which weakens the hair and can cause unnecessary breakage in the long run. I am a licensed stylist and I was happy to see you opt out of the protein treatment on the same day as the relaxer. Great choice!

[@user-kv1sn2xo2l]

Finally I’ve found some with the same 4c hair texture like mine her hair is fine just like mine

[@evergurl210]

Girl I leave my braids in for a long time too. I shampoo my braids during the time they in there though so my dandruff buildup isn't as massive at the end. I also like to oil my scalp the day before I take my braids down because I'm all natural and my hair be thirstyyy for some moisture lol. Loved to see the video sis!!!

[@MsLeah777_]

You did a excellent job ‼️‼️ btw my hair also grows very long leaving my braids in under wigs for months I keep them moisturized and that's does it for me‼️

Thank you boo 💜

[@cherissetillman8973]

Remember, it's normal for all that hair to come out. Hair shed thousands of strands daily. So if you're not combing and leaving it alone, all that dead hair is going to build up and a lot is foing to come out. But its okay.

[@ThomasinaAdams27]

Giving Professional and Fabulous. Excellent job Diva💞💞💞

[@rassie815]

Yes ! This is motivation now thank you. I had my cornrows done from last year December to keep them under my wig and I'm heading to June with them! Lol like this comment to keep me going blessings 😅

[@DoyinVoice]

how do you maintain them do you oil or condition it regularly ? / wash days ?

[@niquetv2470]

Your hair looks so pretty 😍 I just straightened mine last week and I’m over it lol

[@SpiceItUp_5150]

Neutralize 1st. Then Olaplex. Neutralizer washes all the perm product out. Your hair is still processing until you neutralize.

[@maryjacob8873]

This was such a nice and in depth video, thank you for uploading!! This ateeeeee!

[@newnana9070]

You should wash your hair!! I do braids for 2 months, take down, pre poo, walk conditioner through my hair, shampoo with a moisturizing, clarifying shampoo. Deep conditioner(30 minutes), rinse out conditioner to detangle my hair, put on 4 parts, put in leave in conditioner, heat protector. Then braid my hair.

[@tifarahofpearlcreations2097]

Right but her hair is nice

[@exoticbeautyy]

I'm confused... why relax your hair & still have to use a hot comb & flat iron to straighten it.

[@jadayablackmon7103]

Cut time in 1/2, relaxed hair easier to maintain, summer time you ain’t gotta worry about your hair getting puffy if you have a silk press… when I get silk press it last for a good 3weeks to a month

[@exoticbeautyy]

@@jadayablackmon7103 I just never had to go thru all that with relaxed hair. The relaxer had it straight straight. Maybe it's the hair texture.

[@johannawebley4101]

​@@exoticbeautyy the reason is because she didn't do a silky straight relaxer, she kinda texlaxed it to where it had some texture and body still. Then she straightened it to just wear it straight.

[@exoticbeautyy]

@@johannawebley4101 🤨 understood but why leave it textured then straighten it. That's what the relaxer is for. Again, maybe it's due to the hair texture that the relaxer doesn't completely straighten it. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@johannawebley4101]

@@exoticbeautyy a lot of people do this. They texlax the hair to make it more manageable but they don't want to be fully relaxed. She left some texture because it's usually in cornrows under a protective style/wig/sew in, etc for a few months. She straightened it with the heat to be able to trim it. It also helps to blend it in with the clip in extensions and to be able to wear it for a week or two to give her hair a break from her usual.

[@lashawnabrady7063]

@young africana. Do you wash your hair during the 7.5 months??????? Just curious

[@brittnaycollins558]

Super cute! Now can we get a makeup tutorial for the makeshift in the video please

I think is better use neutralising shampoo to stop relaxer processing before Olaplex . Nice hair

I’m really wanting to relax my hair being natural is hard for me I don’t like it and I want to wear my hair straight but I can’t because as soon as I try to straighten my hair it doesn’t last and looks extremely poofy and I like flat sleek hair so I’m on the verge of laying my shit😂😂😂😂 I’m tied

[@aminahhadi6536]

Yass do it its your hair don’t let anyone guilt you for it. My relaxer journey is great and I’ve retained the most length being relaxed. Just make sure you wash once a week and deep condition every week.

I’ll be taking my six month braids out this coming weekend. I really excited but really scared and nervous. Then I’m going to get it re-braided again on the 19th this month and maybe trying to go for four months. I don’t know if I am willing to wear wigs during the summer months because it might be a little too hot

[@kayquecabral5506]

Girl is gorgeous!

[@MH-hw4uh]

Not healthy for hair to keep protective style so long. Combing hair when wet tears it out especially if perm. If I did that I wouldn’t have any so I think your hair is strong, but could have so much more if you didn’t. You did an awesome job doing that hair.

the only thing about deeperthanhair trim method for ppl w hair significantly longer than what hers was in the video it may not work as well. My hair is bra strap length & I’ve cut it several time w that video and it made my hair way too tapered over time w the back being much longer.

I low-key want you to do my hair lol

[@ocky88]

I’m all for low manipulation but this is counter productive. Taking your hair down every two weeks or at least every month to detangle, remove shed hair, wash and deep condition would have saved you so much length. Your ends would not have looked like that. I really want African girls to learn how to take care of your hair. Treating it like a curse to be avoided ain’t it

[@ocky88]

Also your head had to be stanking. Bad. I never knew what men were talking about when they said some girls hair smells badly who wear wigs. This is why. Some of yall are leaving your daggone hair up for over 6 months.
